Stepped Greek Villa with an Arresting Zigzag Shape

From ISV architects comes this bold geometric house overlooking the Aegean Sea from its steep perch on an Athens hilltop.

The zigzag shape as seen from the street below is even more striking lit up at night.

Because of the stepped structure, every room and every patio supplies a limitless vista out across the ancient Greek sea.

The access from the street is at the site’s highest point. From here you’d descend to the lower living levels of the home.

Next to a gloriously serene infinity pool, thick blocky geometric shapes extend through the glass into the house.

Viewed from another angle, the living room actually appears to be just idly floating about on the pool.

At night, swimmers are treated to a unique view through the living room.

Spare and spartan, bathrooms have a brisk and clean-cut masculine flair.

Uncompromisingly contemporary design marks the spacious kitchen.

An unbroken view is achieved with floor to ceiling glazing that makes it possible to completely open the interior to the sweeping ocean view.

A huge fireplace provides the focal point after the sun goes down.

The design represents an original treatment of an almost impossibly steep site.
